I got up this morning to find my 6 inch black plecostomus lying motionless on the floor about 6 or 7 feet away from my aquarium. I heard a little noise last night and i assume it was him flopping around my floor. The little guy was all dry, shriveled, dark black and presumably dead.
I picked him up thinking i would be digging a little grave and etching a miniature tombstone (we've been friends for about 6 years now)... and i saw his mouth move a little.
I figured what the heck... and threw his shriveled husk back into the aquarium to see.....
He kinda spun and sank to the bottom while releasing a ton or air bubbles. A few minutes later he was breathing again!!
Now he's swimming around and acting as if nothing happened! His eyeballs appear to be a little sunken in though
I heard his flop at about 2:00am and found him at about 10:00am. Thats like 8 hours on a cold floor, all alone, scared, cold and dry!
Suggestions for a new name?? This guys deserves an epic title if he can survive the next few days!
